I usually wear shoes in size 10.5 M, I ordered them in size 11 because I read that they run small. What I didn't know is that the width is also on the small side, the average size I bought just isn't wide enough, they fill uncomfortably. I bought the Gold Cup shoes 5 years ago and they were the perfect size and the leather was lovely nice and soft. Unfortunately, the leather in these shoes is ordinary, nothing special. I suspect this is what happens when a company stops making their shoes in the US and makes them in another country. I would not recommend buying this shoe.
